The writing was on the wall with Gattis months ago. I appreciate the prudence with Dawson and thought it was a good hire. Mario moved quickly to replace Steele and Smith. Again, the WR coach search should have been in lockstep with the OC search
Beard was a rushed hire for sure but I'm not going to sit here and draw any conclusions about Mario's fate based on one hire. That's ridiculous. Especially when I feel like he's done a good job with the other ones so far this offseason.
I think you're being a bit dramatic. Richt's staff in '17 was pretty much on par with the one we have now and we were in the drivers seat to go to the playoff heading into the final week of the season.
This is what you get 12 months after blowing your load on an all star staff and it imploding in your face. Proven, 'Bigtime' P5 coaches aren't running to be part of a staff that just yielded the season we just had.
I have no issues with the other hires. Guidry and Dawson were both creative and out of the box. Ice Jr. fits the run game system we should be running. Beard is a very mid hire that clearly had to be made this late after Hankerson backed out.
